Gold Country Writers: Allen Pierleoni “Publishing Potpourri: Books, Bookclubs, Authors and a Candid Confluence”
February 21, 2018 @ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Gold Country Writers proudly presents Allen Pierleoni on “Publishing Potpourri: Books, Bookclubs, Authors and a Candid Confluence.” Meetings are free and open to the public.
Who wants to listen to a lecture when you can ask questions and get honest answers? After a brief introduction, Allen Pierleoni will take questions from the audience and offer answers gleaned from 20 years of writing about the printed page and those who put the words to it.
For 16 years, Allen Pierleoni curated the Sacramento Bee Book Club, recruiting A-list New York Times best-selling authors who appeared in front of Sacramento audiences that ranged from 100 to 1,000 people. For 20 years, he wrote two weekly columns focused on new books, trending authors and local literary events.
After leaving the Bee in June 2017, he created Authors On Stage for Capital Public Radio and serves as interviewer. Appearing for Authors On Stage last October was award-winning Davis-based science-fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson (for “New York: 2140”). Appearing on January 29, New York Times best-selling author Alafair Burke for her psychological thriller “The Wife.”
Allen’s books column, “Between the Lines,” publishes on the www.capradio.org website at www.capradio.org/events/capradio-reads.
